Instructions:

Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Ensure the vegetables are washed and chopped into bite-sized pieces.
-
Assemble the Packets: Take two large sheets of aluminum foil and place them on a flat surface. Divide the chopped vegetables equally between the two sheets. Sprinkle basil evenly over the vegetables.
-
Add Broth and Oil: Drizzle vegetable broth, chicken broth, and olive oil over the vegetables. This adds moisture and enhances the flavor of the veggies during grilling.
-
Fold and Seal: Carefully fold the aluminum foil over the vegetables, creating a packet. Seal the edges tightly to prevent any juices from leaking out during cooking.
-
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
-
Cook the Packets: Place the sealed packets directly onto the grill over hot coals. Cook for 12-18 minutes, turning frequently to ensure even cooking.
-
Check for Doneness: After 12 minutes, carefully open one packet to check the tenderness of the vegetables. They should be fork-tender but still slightly crisp.
-
Serve Warm: Once the vegetables are cooked to perfection, carefully remove the packets from the grill. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Serve the vegetable packets warm alongside your favorite grilled meats or as a standalone dish.
-
Enjoy! Gather around the table and savor the delicious flavors of these grilled vegetable packets with family and friends.
